Bedtimes....
 

what would you consider normal bedtime for a 15 year old on a schoolnight...cause apparently I know nothing about it...or so I was just told by said boy...

Re: Bedtimes....
 

I think 10.30 for a 15 year old would be fair. Though depends how early they have to get up for school next day.

My 9 year old gets sent to bed at 7.30pm on school nights with her younger siblings and apparently all her friends are allowed up much later - I too no nothing, so don't take my advice.

Re: Bedtimes....
 

You have a 15 year old?

You don't look old enough..........

Re: Bedtimes....
 

I used to always complain I was sent to bed too early, or my mates were still out playing footy when I had to come in, at 15 I guess about 10ish, but I think you should say 11.

Re: Bedtimes....
 

for a stroppy one it would be 8pm!

Re: Bedtimes....
 

Hmm.When I was 15, I knew what time my folks crashed out. Would fake a bed-time before this and then go out and do my thaaaang. Worked real good 'till the Kuwait constabulary busted my ass one day...... Pops beat the crap outta me aftertimes, bless him. Still, he did spring me from the joint first.

Hope this helps.... ;)

Can't wait for the publication of your autobiog..........

Re: Bedtimes....
 

I've had the same conversation with our 15 year old too. His current lights out time on a school night is 10pm, (but he often stretches that out by taking 15 mins to clean his teeth ;)), and around 11pm on a non-school night.

Your old, you should be dead! :p

Seriously though I could pretty much do whatever I wanted when I was 15. Stayed up as late as I wanted to and no one even asked where I had been if I stumbled home drunk. Let me serve as a reminder of why you need rules, or your son to could end up wasting his life studying at university :ohmy:. Seriously you can do as you want as long as your willing to suffer the consequences, try going to bed at 4am and getting up at 7am for a few weeks and suddenly you realise why humans need sleep patterns :(. Mind you I don't have children so...

Re: Bedtimes....
 

he thinks 11 is normal...I say 10...so it's the battle of the hour every night...
he does go to bed every afternoon, since it's too hot to be outside anyway and uses that as an excuse (and the old EVERYBODY is allowed to stay out later)
I guess it's partly a selfish thing from me, longing for the days that the house was quiet after 7.00 pm...

Re: Bedtimes....
 

Tell him EVERYBODY doesnt live in your house so tough shit.

Re: Bedtimes....
 

he's taller than me...you tell him

Re: Bedtimes....
 

how can he be taller than you?!

Re: Bedtimes....
 

he wasn't always like that...

Re: Bedtimes....
 

now that would have been scary!

Re: Bedtimes....
 

painful even...

Re: Bedtimes....
 

???

I'm waiting to discover the only 15-year-old boy on the planet who ISN'T taller than his mum........

Re: Bedtimes....
 

MH is very tall though!

Re: Bedtimes....
 

True, but surely that would simply produce a tall son, genetically speaking?

I'm tall too............ loved the way I grew taller than my nan by the time I was eight.........

Re: Bedtimes....
 

You are not tall..you are a giant.
There is a big difference.

Re: Bedtimes....
 

You've been peeking again, haven't you?

Re: Bedtimes....
 

What can I say?..im a peeker.

Re: Bedtimes....
 

10.30 then? :)

Re: Bedtimes....
 

that's the compromise...which involves me calling him every 2 minutes from 10.30 onwards to have him home by 11...

Re: Bedtimes....
 

Ah,no.....my mum once came to get me...in her pyjamas and slippers,in front of all my friends.
Never came home late again after that.

Re: Bedtimes....
 

Lock the door at 10:31, leave him a blanket and pillow outside with a key to the garden shed. ;)

Re: Bedtimes....
 

I don't know...but something is stopping me from going to Uptown dressed like that...

Re: Bedtimes....
 

oh I tried that once, well it was by mistake cause I had been out and thought he was in bed already...but the houses here are crap, you can open any window from the outside so he just did that...

Re: Bedtimes....
 

Its the height of teenage fashion...you need to get down with the kids.

Re: Bedtimes....
 

Only one thing left for it then, boarding school...preferably military run if you can find one :D.

Re: Bedtimes....
 

ok...I am off to La Senza to buy me a little number then...

Re: Bedtimes....
 

No...you dont want to show off.Try a nice flannelette number...preferably tartan,bunny slippers and if you can find some foam rollers,even better....baseball caps are sooo last season.

Re: Bedtimes....
 

well your bloke is no midget is he??

Re: Bedtimes....
 

saying that...i have a very unhealthy fetish for jammy's and slippers.ive got more slippers than any normal person,and my jammy collection is bigger than my clothes!

Re: Bedtimes....
 

the dean is taller than SF...i do not lie.

Re: Bedtimes....
 

oh really...I only have a pair that I took from a hotel...
don't have pyjamas, if I 'lounge' around the house I have a selection of black workout pants (as if I would) and tops...

Re: Bedtimes....
 

That is a disgrace...you dont know what you are missing.
La Senza do fab jammys.Shorts and vest tops.I think I have all of them......i need to take you shopping.

Re: Bedtimes....
 

If you have teenage boys, you might get a laugh out of this.
